Review # 1 was written on 2018-08-20 00:00:00 Michael Wolf Very well written and illustrated. A must read for anyone interested in this art.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-06-28 00:00:00 Steven Wilson This is much more than just a cutting manual. Think of it more like a crash course in the basics for anyone wanting to learn about Japanese swords. It covers care, repair, transportation and simple identification (handy to tell if that old sword is a mass produced gunto or something too valuable to be swinging at targets) as well as how to make new fittings and mountings using western tools. I don't agree with the author on all points, but this book is both broad in scope and useful in its depth, and will probably have something to offer any enthusiast.
